Matthew took excellent care of Elvis! He was prompt/responsive and sent daily updates. Elvis got a trip to the park and a run in his short weekend with Matthew. We felt very comfortable leaving our guy with Matthew and he returned home happy and tired.

Matthew was really responsive and a great communicator before and during Lily's stay. My dog stayed at his place and seemed to enjoy her time. She was healthy and happy when I picked her up.

Olive just loves Matthew! He is so patient with her and she gets sad after leaving his place. Highly recommend your fur baby to him.

Schedule

I work online for a nonprofit as my day job and am available to give attention throughout the day as a sitter or for boarding. I’m fairly active individually and happy to walk/run with your dog if that is something you would like them to do. I’m also very happy keeping company with more chill/older dogs too.

Safety, trust & environment

I will work with the routine and needs of your pet including any special health considerations. I’ll ask for you to share what your dog is trained to do and details like how you use treats, etc.

A typical day there is plenty of time for bathroom breaks and interaction. During the weekday I have pockets of time and a solid midday break for dedicated play/attention.
